Botox continues to be the number one cosmetic procedure performed worldwide. Physicians from a wide range of specialties – not just dermatologists but also OBGYNs, primary care practitioners and ophthalmologists – are eager to learn from results-focused educational material written by leading practitioners. Most botox books focus solely on injection technique. Handbook of Botulinum Toxins for Aesthetic Indications: Theory and Practice describes current techniques, but focuses on securing optimum results in different patient types, e.g. patients of different ethnicities, patients with thick skin, heavy brows, and so on. In addition, the book covers hot topics such as the use of new types of neurotoxins, the problem of counterfeit products, and combining neurotoxins with other modalities such as fillers and lasers. Edited by a recognized educator in this area, and taking a unique problem-based approach, Handbook of Botulinum Toxins for Aesthetic Indications gives practical guidance on the use of different strategies in different patient types to ensure the best possible aesthetic results. Unique, practical emphasis on treatment strategies for different patient types Includes coverage of new neurotoxins recently approved for use Highly illustrated with colour photographs and detailed drawings showing injection sites and technique Written by well-known educators in dermatologic surgery

ince 1985, it has been my privilege to be the Director of The - ciety of Byron Smith Fellows. During the years in which Byron SSmith was with us, his former fellows would meet at the Ame- can Academy of Ophthalmology’s annual meeting. They would present to him, and to one another, interesting cases of their own compli- tions that had occurred or cases that had been sent to them that were complications to be repaired. This forum provided the fellows with an excellent format for evaluating their own problems and also for d- cussing how to treat extremely difficult cases. Shortly after Dr. Brian Brazzo completed his fellowship with me in 1998, he asked if I thought it would be appropriate for him to edit a new book on complications of ophthalmic plastic surgery. Certainly, during his fellowship, it became apparent that Dr. Brazzo was pr- ably the most gifted academician and writer that I had ever had the pleasure of training and meeting. I could think of no one more - propriate to continue the work initiated by Dr. Byron Smith and c- ried on by his students.

Dermatology is a specialty in the field of medicine which constantly changes at a vast rate. Alongside technology, new drugs, methods and treatments are continuously developed for the treatment of all common skin diseases. The first edition of the European Handbook of Dermatological Treatments received an overwhelming response from dermatovenereologists all over Europe. Its easy-to-read format, which is also used for this 2nd edition, is aimed at helping the physician to obtain comprehensive information at a glance. The three main sections listed alphabetically define the different diseases, the drugs available and the various methods of treatment used in dermatological practice. Each chapter begins with a brief section of the aetiology and pathogenesis of the skin disease, and leads into the description of the clinical characteristics, the diagnosis and the differential diagnosis. Followed by a detailed discussion on treatment methods, alternative methods are covered as well. Each section ends with a reference list for further reading. This new edition provides an excellent update including the newest developments of drugs, methods and treatments in dermatological practice, maintaining the clear structure and well-proven format. It is a very comprehensive and practical guide and should not be missed by those treating patients with skin diseases.
